Creative Arts and Physical Education DYNAMICS (how we move) is another important element of dance. We can use different amounts of energy (strong or loose) at different speeds (fast or slow) to create different dynamics. There are 4 main ways that we create dynamics in dance:

1. Strong and fast 2. Strong and slow 3. Loose and fast

History The Past in the Present Discuss: with your parents/grandparents about what schools/learning was like when they were children. Discuss: with your parents/grandparents about what schools/learning is like for you. Reflect: What things are

Gratitude time: Reflecting on learning. During this time you can: ● Award yourself: create an

award for yourself: recognises something that you did well this week in your learning.

Science & Technology Reflect on your last lesson about the properties of materials - how some materials can have strong properties. Discuss: with your parents/caregivers about what materials you know are absorbent (could wipe up a spill). Activity: Find materials that you can test their properties to

Dinosaurs in Action Go on a dinosaur walk through your yard:

● be the biggest dinosaur

4. Loose and slow Practise making strong and fast movements and loose and slow movements to some music of your choice. Have you ever watched how bubbles move when they are formed, float through the air and eventually pop? Find some bubble mixture, or use some detergent and water to make your own and blow some bubbles. Watch carefully to observe the shapes made and changes in the dynamics of the bubbles as they form, float and pop. Discuss your observations with a family member.

● When you blew the bubble, was the movement strong and fast or loose and slow?

● How did the bubble move through the room?

● Describe how the bubble popped.

Activity: Pretend that you are a bubble and develop a simple movement pattern to show the different ways that bubbles move, e.g. form the bubble (loose and fast), turn slowly (loose and slow), float (loose and slow), pop and freeze (strong and fast). Perform your sequence to some soft bubble music of your choice.

similar in schools today? Activity: Write a list of similarities. Choose one very interesting thing you have learnt about schools in the past. Write how you would feel if schools went back to the olden days and why you would feel like that. Write 2-3 sentences ONLY. You may also like to draw and label what school classrooms looked like. Have fun!

absorb water (some should not be able to absorb water):

● wood, ● paper, ● shirt, ● sponge, ● find your own.

1. Go outside 2. Fill a bucket full of water. 3. Predict - do you think the

wood will absorb the water. 4. Test your prediction. 5. Reflect - was your prediction

correct. 6. Test your other materials

Activity: Choose 2 materials and answer these questions: 1. What material are you

testing? 2. Did the material have

properties that allow it to absorb water? An example of what to do

1. wood 2. No, the wood wasn’t able to absorb water. The water didn’t disappear.

Write your answer in your book.

3rd Session

Own choice: Each afternoon choose 1 activity to complete. There is NO need to record this in your book. You can repeat activities.

Using spidey senses - mindfulness ● Turning on spidey senses lets us focus upon

using our senses: smell, sight, hearing, taste and touch.

● It means we pause and focus our attention on now.

● Take time to observe and be curious. ● What have you discovered in your

house/backyard?

Outdoor time: Spend time playing outside.

1. One person (blindfolded) is guided safely around to a chosen feature e.g. tree (you can add some extra steps in e.g. twist/twirl)

2. A Blindfolded person explores it with their hands. 3. Return them to the beginning. 4. Now they need to guess where they started.

Phonics- Exploring BR ● Create a list of as many BR words as you can. ● Find a story book and search for BR words. Count how

many BR words you find. Spelling - Choose 5 NEW words.

● Write your spelling words inside of a shape e.g. flower/animal.

Writing: What is a dinosaur? What is a dinosaur?

Dinosaurs lived on Earth for more than 150 million years. They are

not reptiles. Some of them were the largest and scariest creatures

that ever walked on land. The word dinosaur comes from Greek

words meaning “terrible lizard.”

The last dinosaurs became extinct, or died out, about 65.5 million

years ago. Fossils of dinosaurs were first discovered in the early

1800s. Dinosaurs were all different sizes. Some dinosaurs were

smaller than a chicken. Others weighed as much as 100 tons—more

than 10 times as much as the largest elephants.

Rather than being carnivores (meat eaters), the largest dinosaurs

such as the Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus were actually herbivores

(plant eaters).

Dinosaurs did not have

any hair. Their skin

had a bumpy or pebbly

surface. Some

scientists believe that

dinosaurs were gray or

green in color. These

colors would have

helped the dinosaurs

blend in with their

surroundings.

Most, if not all, dinosaurs laid eggs. Some dinosaurs built large nests

to keep their babies together. Young dinosaurs grew very fast. Many

reached full size in seven or eight years. Large dinosaurs might have

lived almost 100 years.
